Rate-change API elements

TVSDK includes methods, properties, and events to determine valid rates, current rates, whether trick play is supported, and other functionality related to fast forward and rewind.

Use the following API elements to change play rates:

PlaybackRateEvent.getRate
MediaPlayer.getLocalTime
MediaPlayerEvent.RATE_SELECTED
MediaPlayerEvent.RATE_PLAYING
MediaPlayerItem.istrickPlaySupported
MediaPlayerEvent.AD_BREAK_SKIPPED
MediaPlayerItem.getAvailablePlaybackRates - specifies valid rates.

Rate value	Effect on playback
2.0, 4.0, 8.0, 16.0, 32.0, 64.0, 128.0	Switches to fast-forward mode with the specified multiplier faster than normal (for example, 4 is 4 times faster than normal)
-2.0, -4.0, -8.0, -16.0, -32.0, -64.0 , -128.0	Switches to fast-rewind mode
1.0	Switches to normal play mode (calling `play` is the same as setting the rate property to 1.0)
0.0	Pauses (calling `pause` is the same as setting the rate property to 0.0)
